I believe no matter what business we are in, we are connected to people. We need to be helpful, respectful and compassionate. To treat my client like my friend and family is what I signed up for. I will do what I’ve always done: Take care of you first, the rest will follow! The East Bay is a special place that I’ve called home for over 30 years. As both a Realtor and a homeowner here, I have a vested interest in preserving the value of living in our wonderful community. I take great pride in helping our neighbors understand the local market so they can make the best decisions as they buy and sell their homes. So whether you’re new to the neighborhood or have lived here for decades, let me be your partner so that we can watch our community continue to thrive together.

“I cannot find words kind enough to express my gratitude for Antonia and her team. I desperately needed to move closer to my grandchildren. Antonia and her team worked like busy bees to make it happen, and to my amazement, it all seemed so easy! My house went on sale right when the coronavirus pandemic hit and from then on I could really see what outstanding professionals Antonia and her team are, supporting me in all my needs, with an awesome sense of humor, intelligence, hard work and experience. My house sold fast and we had a lot of fun! An “A+” is not enough for Antonia and Team…they are Godly! -Jana, Walnut Creek Seller

220 Crestview Drive, Orinda
Awe Inspiring Award Winning Architect’s Home Secluded within a garden surrounded by magnificent oak trees, this approximately 6000 SF home is thoughtfully sited upon an expansive 1.4 acre lot offering a unique indoor/outdoor park-like experience. Renovated in the early 1990’s by a partner of the nationally acclaimed Swatt/Miers Architects, for his own home, the design approach was to sensitively integrate new modern spaces with that of the original home’s traditional mid-century ranch style architecture. The entry gallery with its dramatic 24’ high ceiling opens to the gardens beyond and separates public living spaces from the 2 story bedroom wing. The gallery with its greenish grey Vermont slate features beautiful maple walls, ceilings and a unique solid maple lattice staircase. The full height windows at either end create a seamless flow from outside to inside and a relaxing airy ambiance, while the custom maple lattice accents the tall gallery entry, functionally allowing a continuous stream of light throughout. The spacious open floor plan and walls of windows looking out onto established gardens provide the pleasure of enjoying this lovely property from almost every room. With a focus on architectural detail, this home offers many unique features such as the intricate maple trellis walls, a panelized maple ceiling edge, custom built-in display cabinetry and window seats. The open living and dining rooms flow together accommodating large gatherings. Two family rooms make it easy to accommodate those enthusiastic sports fans and those who wish to enjoy some quieter space. A separated wing constructed in 1987 and then connected in the 1990”s remodeling is perfect extended family, au-pair or boom-a-rang kids, with its own kitchen, bath and living area, which could also be a great at home office. Located just minutes to 12 years of Orinda’s top rated schools, downtown Orinda and BART.
